Abstract: The relationship between poetry and public world is a crucial poetic problem in the course of development and transmutation of poetry. Since the beginning of the new century, due to the various modes of transmission and public platforms offered by new media, the propagation of poetry has become more convenient, rapid and widespread; therefore, comparing with the isolating state between poetry and public world in personal writing since 1990s, many changes have taken place in the relationship between poetry and public world, concerning the attitudes of poets toward the public world, the transmission platform, the social function, the art form, the discourse strategy and so on, which have changed the development trend of poetry of the new century. However, few systematic and deep researches have been done in this academic field so far.

Key words: poetry, public world, new media, new changes
